Oh hell yeah she didn't forget.
I'm swearing a lot lately, aren't I? But I guess it can't be helped. I bit my tongue to stop any foul words from coming out as I stared at the picture of me —in my underwear, swimming in the pond with the ducks gliding along happily around me— hovering over every window in Alice Academy.
I felt my blood boil. This is the last straw!!!
"Nice abs Nogi!" a senior student greeted me as I walked past. I resisted the urge to sent off a pack of rats after her in favor of finding that little conniving little punkass… jerk that got me into this little predicament in the first place.
I found her in the classroom.
"Mind explaining this, Imai???" I said, my face hot, as I shoved the photograph on her face. I could practically feel the blood rushing up my cheeks. I just felt so mad. And her looking at me as if I was an unthreatening madman didn't help much.
"They're pictures." she drawled mockingly. "Of a loser who hides much from the world."
I clenched my teeth in to slowly ease the homicidal tension away from me. "What did I ever do to you?"
She stood up and poked my chest, an uncharacteristic fire in her eyes that made me wonder just what this little girl was capable of. "You're going to regret ever messing with Hotaru Imai, Nogi, got that?"
I went looking for Natsume.
It was the only rational choice, because he seemed to be really involved in this little piece of trouble I had no idea I tangled myself into. I found him in his room, face buried under a comic book.
"NATSUME HYUUGA!" I yelled, and it was enough to make him stumble off the couch in his ass on the floor. Thankfully, I maintained a neutral face. "What in god's name have you done to Imai!!!? She won't leave me alone now!!!"
His surprise quickly turned into boredom, and he was fast to regain his cool as he sat down more regally in the couch. "Nothing serious, Ruuka. I just did what I had to do."
Oh he makes me mad.
"Then mind explaining why I'm involved in this? All I did was talk to her!!!"
Natsume's hand came up to brush the hair away from his face. He look annoyed. Hell, I'll give him something to be annoyed at, that little…
"Look, Ruuka. I'm sure it would all be settled in time. Meanwhile, why don't you on and dance with your cronies." he smirked and I could feel the blood draining at my face as I spotted a large balloon floating out the window… with my picture, doing the cancan with three ravens and a lost-looking pelican. He looked back at me just as my jaw fell off. "That's what you do best anyway."
Shit.
A/N: I'm having writer's block. Well… I suppose it's my fault for extending… but would any of you be kind enough to put in some suggestions? I might be able to go on from that. Review!!!
